My homeade self healing injection port.
#9039478 - 10/06/08 09:37 PM (15 years, 5 months ago) |

What I do is punch a hole in the lid where I want my injection port.
I take a piece of polyfil and twist it as tightly as I can , then put it into the hole.
I trim both side of the excess polyfil off with siscors.
Then I briefly use my lighter to (compact the polyfil and give it a more uniform surface.
I apply a liberal amount of silicone to either side of the polyfil, making sure the entire surface is covered.
Before injection I will suck a small amount of alchohol (70%) with a syringe and inject it into the polyfil, then continue through the bottom layer of the silicone and inject it.
I know u can just use the silicone alone and it would work, but I feel this will give me an added barrier against contamination while inserting and removing the needle.
I want to eventually try this without applying flame sterilazion, without a still air box. However at this point, Im still new to it all and will use a still air bx and flame sterilization.
Any thoughts of comments?
I appologize if this has already been posted, I just didnt see it.

so you have polyfil covered in silicone? seems like it would be prone to more contams b/c there is extra stuff to hold anything that contams, and when that gets wet, how is it gonna dry? i could be way off too.

Yes agreed it can withstand heat well. The only thing is you may get a little condensation in it, that's all

The thing that worry's me the most is if I dont get all the alchohol out in the polyfil and squirt some into into my LC. I dont know if a minute amount could spell catastrophe?!? If so, I will take extra precaution and inject a little more than what I sucked up into the polyfil layer.

im really curious if this would work or not because i was planning on starting LC's soon and need the self healing ports. Any old hands have any input as to whether or not this could possibly lead to contams due to the fact that it might hold IN the moisture??

Also instead of adding a filter for gas exchange, I plan on injecting sterile air directly into the jar once every so often.
To do this I will suck a small amount of alcohol into the syringe. I will then light a candle, stick my needle into the flame to sterilize it. I will raise the needle a few inches above the flame and suck in air. I will then inject the alcohol into the polyfil layer, then proceed throught the bottom layer of silicone and inject the air.
I dont know if a positive pressure environment would be good or bad. I plan to test this as soon as my spores/myc arrive.

My polyfill always melts, thats why I only use tyvek and micropore tape. I love tyvek so much anyways.

If this is the case, I will try it with a fresh filter from a cigarette. I hope they both dont melt, otherwise its back to the drawing board :P.

Don't use cig filters, they rot. They are meant to biodegrade now and they will just turn to mush in not long.

I've lived in some shit holes and jar contamination was never a huge problem. On Average I'd get 2-3 jars out of 8 that went south but that wasn't bad considering the environment and my lack of any fancy equipment. Save your money and stick with the vermiculite layer and four small holes with tape over them.
I'd worry more about the sterile syringe making process.

What is the point of pf in the middle of the silicone? I heard of a squirrel having a 100% success rate with silicone and no poly.

you got the wrong polyfill if it melts.

Actually the intention is to minimize the sterile procedures when injecting LC, although it may be able to be applied to other applications as well.

You will still have to flame sterilise before inoculating each jar. Just because you have alcohol in the polyfill between your silicon is not going to sterilise you needle.
We flame the needle red hot not to kill anything that has landed on the needle, but anything that may have worked its way inside the needle.
Always flame your needle red hot. You can make your own alcohol lamp with a 1/2 pint canning jar. Punch a small hole in the lid and feed a peice of string through the lid so the string sits in the alcohol and you have a little bit through the top. Light.

Good morning veda, see you've been busy ^^
I realize that alcohol sanitizes. This is more for an added layer of protection, as LC is highly contaminable.
